A census tract is a geographic region defined for the purpose of taking a census, which is typically delineated by the U.S. Census Bureau to capture detailed demographic data about residential areas.
A Combined Statistical Area (CSA) as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau is a aggregation of adjacent metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas that are economically and socially interconnected. CSAs are used for providing a more comprehensive view of the larger regions in which residents live and work, transcending administrative boundaries to better illustrate the multi-faceted nature of these urban clusters.
Housing completions refer to the number of new housing units that are completed and ready for occupancy. This metric is reported by the U.S. Census Bureau and reflects construction progress in the real estate market.
